In yet another surreal moment Tuesday afternoon, Trump claimed that when he said, “I don’t see any reason why it would be” Russia, he actually meant to say, “I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be.”

“You know what? That makes sense. I actually believe Trump on this,” the Daily Show host said, before checking his notes. “Sorry, what I meant to say was, ‘Get the fuck out of here, man!’”

“Are you serious?” he asked. “The president and his team had 24 hours to come up for a reason why Trump took Russia’s side over America and the best they could up with was, ‘Nuh-uh!’”

After Trump made his correction, he added, “Sort of a double negative. So you can put that in, and I think that probably clarifies things.”

Like The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert, Noah posited that you can fix any horrendous comment Trump has made by changing one word. For instance, maybe the president meant to say Mexicans were “bringing therapists” to the United States.
